Ok so I got that code 52 last week and just ordered the ATS GM knock sensor kit over the weekend. Now today i just read somewhere on mr2oc that all the GM sensor does is "ignore knock" because it vibrates at a different frequency than the stock toyota one.
What do you guys make of this? I dont want to run the risk of damaging my engine because i'm getting undetected knock. did i just waste my money on the "more durable" ATS GM sensor? |

OK I finally got in contact with Ken @ ATS. here is one of the replies that i got from him:
You can return the knock sensor for a full refund, however you have heard wrong. The GM sensor is just as sensitive as the stock Toyota sensor and behaves exactly the same when installed on the vehicle. The only difference is that it doesn't break like the OEM Toyota one. Now i dont know if I want to use the GM sensor, or pay almost 3x the cost and wait for Toyota (who cant identify what kind of sensor i need because it doesnt have a part # and i dont know what date my engine was manufactured.) can i hear some opinions?
